- Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare and generally non-serious condition affecting the mesenteric root, potentially linked to certain cancers.
- A study analyzed PET/CT scans from January 2008 to December 2019 to find how common MP was in patients with various cancers, excluding those with previous treatments or multiple cancers.
- Results showed that 5.3% of oncologic patients had MP, with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (15.9%) and prostate cancer (11.9%) being the most associated types, while others like Hodgkin lymphoma and cervical cancer showed no cases.
Background: Proper hand hygiene (HH), which includes sanitizing with alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) (or handwashing with soap and water if ABHR is unavailable), is key for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HCAI), including COVID-19. Understanding drivers of HH is key to improving adherence.
Aim: This study aims to explore drivers and barriers to HH practice at two hospitals in the Dominican Republic in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic to inform development of HH behaviour change interventions.
